The first step involved in shopping for perfume or cologne is to examine the scent category. Floral fragrances consist of large variety of flowers such as roses, jasmine, lily of the valley and many others. They are sometimes mixed with hints of other subtle scents such as vanilla to create a well balanced lighter fragrance that is perfect for a romantic evening or starry night. Floral fragrances are the largest group to choose from. The citrus fragrances contain a blend of fruits such as lime, tangerine, lemon and mandarin, creating very refreshing aromas. These fragrances are mostly worn during the evening, or in the office. Oriental fragrances derive from mixture of spices, resins, amber, balsams and other exotic aromas. These fragrances are widely used for winter evenings.
The concentration of the scent is next factor to consider when buying a new fragrance. Pure perfume is the most concentrated fragrance and is also the most expensive. It stays on your body for the longest period of time. Cologne has the least concentration of scents. As a lighter fragrance, it is recommended for wear by men and women in the office. Wearing lighter perfume or cologne requires more frequent application since they evaporate much faster, especially in the summer months. The third classification of fragrance is perhaps the most important factor to consider. It is very important to choose right fragrance to match the specific occasion for which it will be worn.
For example, a very strong, pure perfume would be inappropriate to wear at the office. In an office setting, perfumes that are too strong could lead to headaches. For an occasion such as a romantic date, the fragrance wearer should consider wearing one of the floral fragrances, perhaps one with some pheromone scents to attract the opposite sex with seductive appeal. There is a wide variety of romantic fragrances to choose from. The largest groups of the fragrances are casual or daytime wear fragrances, which are universal scents that can be used for many occasions. Evening wear perfumes or colognes are mostly oriental fragrances with blend of spices, resins, amber and other exotic aroma oils, worn to enhance a warm and exotic feeling in the evening.
Here it should be noted that there are some places you shouldn't wear any fragrances. For instance, fragrances should not be worn in the hospital or when visiting a very ill person. Similarly, in places with crowded conditions such as churches, movie theaters, airplanes and etc., it is not recommended that one wears strong fragrances or in some cases it is best if no fragrance is worn in these locations. When you do choose to wear fragrances in these locations, consider wearing a fragrance that is light.
Most online fragrance stores list their products by two categories: by designer name or by the first letter of the fragrance name.
